[3] He and his family moved to Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia in 1903,[4] living first in Coolgardie, and then in Kunanalling, where his father opened a mine, the Shamrock.

The West Australian reported: "the fact that he was chosen in that capacity after such a long career as a follower was tribute to his ability, and he proved in Adelaide that he could rise to the occasion".

[11] While not playing in the senior team, Outridge represented the Subiaco side in the West Australian National Football Association (WANFA), which acted as a second-tier competition for the WANFL.

A bout of appendicitis in October of the same year forced Outridge to miss the 1931 WANFA Grand Final,[12] in which Subiaco defeated Midland-Guildford by 25 points.

Outridge also served as a commentator for WANFL matches on the radio, as well occupying the roles of secretary (from 1935 to 1940) and later president (in the 1941 season) of the Subiaco Football Club.

[17] In 1944, Outridge served as a goal umpire for a football match between two Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) units at Kalgoorlie.

[23] He was posthumously inducted into the West Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2004,[24] and was named in a forward pocket in Subiaco's Team of the Century in 2008.
